Introduction: Mechanical VENTILATION refers to the use of life-support technology to perform the work of breathing for patients who are unable to do this on their own. 2. Aim: The overall goals of mechanical VENTILATION are to optimize gas exchange, patient work of breathing, and patient comfort while minimizing ventilator-induced lung injury. 3. Objectives of Mechanical VENTILATION in the PEDIATRIC patient include: Improved pulmonary gas exchange Relief of respiratory distress (by relieving upper and lower airway obstruction, reducing oxygen consumption, and relieving respiratory fatigue) Management of pulmonary mechanisms (by normalizing and maintaining the distribution of lung volume and providing pulmonary toilet) Provide airway protection Provide general cardiopulmonary support 4.
c) I:E ratio – normally set at 1:2-1:3. Higher inspiratory times may be needed to improve oxygenation in difficult situations (inverse ratio ventilation), increasing the risk of air leak. Lower rate and higher expiratory time-1:3-1:4 may be needed in asthma to allow proper expiration due to expiratory obstruction. d) Trigger Sensitivity-
